And the Failure M once said, "we will isolate Pakistan".
IK doesn't hate, doesn't boast. He just acts.

I hope that it doesn't hampered by US sanctions beside good news is that it's funding is done by Russia.

Gas pipe line installation has definitely it's importance. More importantly Russia is joint hand in economic development. We welcome Russian participation in Pakistan development. China is our long time trusted friend. US importance can not be denied. But let us expand our relationship with Russia and must not keep all our eggs on one basket.
